Middle East PhoNographic Mornings #15 - Leon Huene: Rune

Stéphane Marin presents a weekly series of fifteen soundscapes recorded in the mornings at various locations throughout the Middle East. Entitled Middle East PhoNographic Mornings this series forms part of a wider project, Each Morning of the World, which invites sound artists, composers and recordists globally to share their own specific point of listening, either through a raw field recording or original composition.

In this episode, Rune by Leon Huene:

"After finding myself fatigued one night and craving some relaxation, I decided to create a piece that would lull me to sleep (and it worked), and in the process of making it I discovered that my recording of a rainy early morning was a perfect fit. Since then, I’ve used this piece frequently to doze off. Hopefully, you can doze off too."

Leon Huene is an electronic musician, filmmaker, photographer, graphic and sound designer. He has composed music for web series such as "This is Not a Conspiracy Theory" and worked on Emmy-award winning TV shows such as HitRECord on TV as an animator. In Michel de Montaigne's words “I have gathered a posy of other men’s flowers, and nothing but the thread that binds them is mine own” Inspired by the fields of algorithmic composition, acousmatic, cinematic, and experimental music, Leon Huene showcases his own brand of experimental electronic music that blends his most ecstatic musical experiences and experiments. From calm moments to hard-hitting drums, his music is scattered across the vast landscape of feeling tones.
